mana cost of skills removed on basic jewels

Hi.

How am I supposed to bring the cost down of my main skill where a 4 link already costs 29 mana and I can't run my build if a 6 link potentially is going to cost 40 or 50 mana per cast.

Any ideas/suggestions in this regard, or am I going to have to switch my build into something else.

Also, does anyone have any information why this was removed?

Thank you for the tips, there are some useful ones in there for me like mana regen basic jewels.

Two things.

1. GGG generally want mana to be more valuable, something you have to deal with, not just a buffer for auras that you set once and forget. So they slowly reduce the amount or effectiveness of tools that help you sustain mana without actual mana/mana regen investments.

2. Reworked Archmage benefits greatly from mana cost reduces.

They probably initially decided to rework Archmage and then took the opportunity to remove some mana cost mods.
